Twice already this morning I could have been having a much worse day. First, I caught the morning frost early enough to have it not be a factor in the timing of our departure. Then, I ran a red light unintentionally, but was spared an accident by the awareness of the drivers perpendicular.
It was one of those times where the sun was right in my eyes after turning east, so I instinctively pulled down the visor. Well, there's a light I go through every morning that is green 99 times in a hundred. When I noticed the fact that there were cars waiting in the other direction (a rarity) this morning, I bent down to see under the visor. Wouldn't you know it, I saw that the light had turned red, and I realized that I was going 40 (the speed limit), with no hope of slowing down in time to stop for the light (I was practically under it already).
If any of the kind folks my opposite had been in more of a hurry and floored it upon the light change, I might be blogging about much worse things right now.
